This is exactly why Türkiye now wants to be known as Türkiye:

I have always found that "an internet" vs "the Internet"
solves the nomenclature problem, but in case of doubt I write
"the global Internet" (although one can quibble about that, too).

It's also somewhat flattering that "the internet" has become
the norm, like "the air".
